Yeah, that art is amazing for 17, but I don't know about it being Terror. Every terror has had the light source hidden with only one creature in it, and that creature not being dead but shying away from something, incapacitated.
This art looks like a cycle of something with a visable light source in the middle, and they aren't shying from anything, only stuck.
But, I could be wrong, if so, haha great art anyway.

It's been confirmed as terror in another thread. We got a scan of the card and it really looks good. Also, must be sweet in foil!
Gah! Okay, it's an appalling card anyway, but just look at the treats Wall of Fire and Wall of Swords got in their art. Can someone please prevent Rebecca Guay from ever producing more art for Magic, and why is it that only green cards are 'graced' with her childish scribbles?
Now this is more like it. Overall not as keen on the art overall as last week's offerings, but Wall of Swords is a highlight that makes up for not getting the Holy Day art. Sylvan Basilisk I like too; better than the Portal art, but looks more like a rootwalla than a basilisk to me.
Not as fond of 17 as some here. If it wasn't restricted to S-Z I'd have suggested Remove Soul, but since it's confirmed as Terror that's somewhat redundant.
1. Sylvan Basilisk. Not as frilly as the original, but still definitely a basilisk.
2. Unholy Strength. Nice mirror to the Holy Strength we've already seen.
3. Wall of Fire. yep. It is a giant wall of fire. I'm not sure what that one idiot holding up his sword in the middle is doing though...
4. Vampire Bats. Confirmed.
5. Stronghold Discipline. Spawning Pool is a possibility, but It looks much more like creatures drowning in blood than creatures rising up out of blood.
6. Wild Griffin. Looks like it should be on something more impressive, but if Wild Griffin has new art, this is it.
7. Suntail Hawk. Does this even classify as new art?
8. Wall of Wood. Either that or a Forest, and that starts with F. I wonder what the creature type will be. Plant Wall?
9. Sudden Impact. Might also be a creature getting Stuned, but I think all the trinkets and things falling around his head are supposed to represent the cards in his hand.
10. Wall of Swords. I don't know what else this could even be.
11. Time Stretch. Confirmed.
12. Spirit Weaver? Group of whitish looking soldiers. Whispersilk Cloak was mentioned though, and that looks like a better fit. Does Whispersilk Cloak have new art?
13. Upwelling. Confirmed.
14. Story Circle. Confirmed.
15. Uncontrollable Anger. Almost definitely. If this isn't Uncontrollable Anger I will be greatly surprised.
16. Treetop Village.
17. Terror. This would be great for Tortured Existence, except that if Terror has new art, then Terror has to be one of these seventeen, and 17 looks the most like something that could be Terror. ...And it has been confirmed as Terror.
I love her work, and it's only looked better and better over the years as the printing of Magic cards has gotten nicer. Nonbelievers are faux Guay.
Better and better? All her pieces look identical. Occasionally it's fine, but her monocoloured sketch drawings seem to be an effort to produce abstract art by someone who's barely familiar with the concepts of either abstraction or art. Even if she just had a little more variety in her approach (like, well, all the other artists) it would be a bit more bearable, but no - she obviously got it into her head early that the Gaea's Blessing art was popular so has resolved to clone it interminably ever since.

For number 11, I kept looking through the posts and I saw that someone said it was confirmed as Time Stretch, but my first thought was Teferi's Puzzle Box. If Time Stretch is 100% confirmed then you can forget what I just said. That's just my opinion.

#17 is Terror, the card has been confirmed and scanned in another thread.

Heh. That was my very first thought when I saw 17. Considering that Cremate and Sanguine Praetor, Scab-Clan Mauler and Skeletal Vampire, Golgari Guildmage, Vulturous Zombie, and Dimir Machinations all needed touch ups to make the skeletons and skulls un-skeleton like, this art might as well just be replaced entirely.

If you have problems distingushing Scryb Ranger from Gaea's Blessing from Greenseeker from Aven Mindcensor, then perhaps you need to stick to reading text boxes to see what cards do.
What are you referring to when you say 'monocoloured sketch drawings'? Is there a particular piece by her that you have in mind?
What about your reference to her attempts at abstract art? Do you mean 'non-figurative', 'non-objective' or 'non-representational'?
